Simple Chicken Nuggets

This was part of a quick fix light lunch I prepared for my family. It’s quite simple and doesn’t take much time at all to prepare. You could serve this with a fresh crispy lettuce salad and some fries if you wish.  Drizzle some sweet and sour sauce on the […]

 

Roasted Seasoned Derere, Idelele (Okra)

This was another experiment in the kitchen and I’m glad to say it turned out fantastic. It was tasty my daughters wanted more and more! At least this is one of the two ways where they’ll eat okra. They couldn’t quite stomach our traditional version of preparing derere! The other […]

 

Custard and Orange Loaf

Simply delicious is what this cake is. Every bite leaves you craving for another and another and yet another! You have to control yourself otherwise you could eat the whole loaf in one sitting, BY YOURSELF 😀 (that’s how good it is and no exaggeration here!) I served this to […]

 

Garlic and Ginger Rice

This is one of my favourite ways to prepare rice. The flavours are just simply amazing and give a great boost to the rice in terms of taste. It’s absolutely a perfect variety to the usual plain boiled white rice, especially if it’s not the aromatic rice varieties.. As is […]

I love how I don’t have to struggle with them to eat their vegetables, they love them already! I guess maybe because since they were tiny tots vegetables were […]

Flavours bursting in the mouth, check! Taste buds tickled, check! Total enjoyment of meal, check! My family and I absolutely enjoyed this dish. Everyone went for seconds with my kids even wanting a third helping! There’s no complication really when it comes to preparing lasagne. It’s all in the layering […]

 

Mnandi Oatmeal Muffins

These oatmeal muffins as the name suggests are mnandi (good!) They are a great “pick-me-up” treat for the morning. Calcium found in buttermilk or lacto which I used here has amazing benefits for our bodies including providing healthy bones and teeth among others. These muffins are also rich in fiber […]

 

Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

I really enjoyed this salad. It had a refreshing touch to it coming from the tomatoes and the mozzarella with onions and basil complemented the whole dish so well. You can serve this with your preferred starch, save for Sadza of course! It will also work well as a side […]

I love pecan nuts, I especially love them in cake too! I used them in this recipe here as well as in one of my favourite cakes- carrot cake. This cake is best prepared for dessert, on that cold night, serve it with custard and it will just hit the […]
